British Comedy Awards 2013 winners
Jack Whitehall, Lee Mack, Miranda Hart and Alan Carr are amongst the winners at The British Comedy Awards 2013.
British Comedy Guide, 12th December 2013Opinion: Comedy gets tied up - with ties
Lots of comedians seem to be getting tied up at the moment and I don't mean in a Fifty Shades of Grey way. John Bishop wears a tie. Jack Whitehall wears a tie. Frankie Boyle might come out with controversial jokes but there is nothing controversial about his tie. I think I've even seen Seann Walsh wear a tie.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 9th December 2013Interview: When Jack Dee met Jack Whitehall
One is the silent brooding type who's been frowning his way to success for 20 years, the other is a cheeky prodigy who can't keep his mouth shut even when it gets him into trouble. Yet they have much more in common than you might think.
Nick Curtis, Evening Standard, 7th December 2013We've seen Greg Davies play a teacher before, of course, and the workless, foul-mouthed truce struck between him and his flock here does smack a little of Jack Whitehall's Bad Education, but Man Down's shortcomings in originality are nulled by a relentless volley of gags, all at Davies's expense, and with many arriving courtesy of a brilliantly cast Rik Mayall as his sadistic prankster dad. Crude, silly and very funny.
Luke Holland & Gwilym Mumford, The Guardian, 30th November 2013How the king or queen of comedy is crowned
Six nominees, including Sarah Millican, Jack Whitehall and Graham Norton, are up for the top comedy award. Who will win? The answer hinges on something I call the Neediness Index.
Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 27th November 2013Voting lines open for British Comedy Awards 2013
Alan Carr, David Mitchell, Graham Norton, Jack Whitehall, Lee Mack and Sarah Millican have been nominated in the King Or Queen Of Comedy category at the British Comedy Awards 2013. Voting lines are now open.
British Comedy Guide, 27th November 2013Have you been watching ... Fresh Meat?
The campus comedy has graduated to its third series, and with Vod at the fore and Jack Whitehall's obnoxious JP becoming likable, it's top marks all round.
Scarlett Cayford, The Guardian, 25th November 2013Fresh Meat, series 3, episode 4, review
The writers have finally remembered that Fresh Meat is not all about Jack Whitehall's JP, says Ed Cumming.
Ed Cumming, The Telegraph, 25th November 2013Backchat with Jack Whitehall and His Dad - TV review
Jack Whitehall's dad adds a touching new spin to the chatshow.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 21st November 2013Agreeable standup and Fresh Meat star Jack Whitehall moves the Edinburgh fringe chat show he did with his dad (a former theatrical agent) to BBC Three. It's Adam Buxton and Bad Dad for the under-30s. And their first two guests are quite the mixed bag. Disdainful Newsnight prober Jeremy Paxman lines up next to right-barrel-o-monkeys paranormal investigator and actor Danny Dyer. No previews available, sadly, but Paxman with his tie off is always good fun.
